TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to biotechnology. More specifically, relates to biotechnology in environment protection, especially a recombinant antibody polypeptide, gene thereof, and preparation method thereof.

BACKGROUND

Cyanobacteria proliferation and water pollution caused by water eutrophication are the biggest harm for the worldwide water environment that lead to great economic loss and irreparable damage towards the biosphere of the earth. Along with the accelerated industrialization and urbanization by the economic development of China, environment pollution and degeneration are severer and severer, and bionomic control on water environment has become a crutial problem to be faced and solved.

The present antibacterial agents are hardly effective against cyanobacteria, a prokaryocyte that belongs to Phylum X of cyanobacteria, Domain Bacteria. Currently, there is only heavy metal chemical reagent, for example, copper sulfate and etc, which can control cyanobacteria. However, in practical use against cyanobacteria, the overdosed and repeated use of drugs due to their limited effects destroys against other beneficial algae, aquatic plants, organisms, and brings irreversible and perpetual wreck to the environment, as well as heavy metal agent residue with increasing amount in both the environment and agricultural products. Therefore, it is of great demand for the development of high-effective and safe anti-cyanobacterial drugs.

SUMMARY

In one aspect, the present invention provides genes, recombinant plasmids, and polypeptides of a novel anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide; said polypeptides are capable of specifically killing cyanobacteria cells but not damaging other algae cells, plants and animals. Another aspect of the present invention is to provide methods for preparing said anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptides.

Provided is a hybridoma with a depository number of CGMCC No. 4783.

Also provided is a monoclonal antibody secreted by said hybridoma.

Also provided is an antibody mimics polypeptide with function of recognizing and binding cyanobacteria, which is an antigen-binding fragment of said monoclonal antibody, or a small molecular polypeptide that is designed on the basis of functional regions of said antigen-binding fragment of said monoclonal antibody.

Said antibody mimic polypeptide, its amino acid sequence sets forth in SEQ ID NO. 3.

Also provided is gene encoding any one of said antibody mimic polypeptides.

Said gene has a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO.2.

Also provided is an anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide, constructed by operably and linearly connecting said antibody mimic polypeptide capable of recognizing and binding cyanobacteria to the C-terminus of colicin polypeptide, and said colicin is selected from colicin E1, Ia, Ib, A, B or N.

Said anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide has an amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO.7.

Also provided is a gene encoding said any one of anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide.

Said gene has a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.6.

Also provided is a recombinant expression vector, which comprises the gene encoding said anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide.

Also provided is a method for preparing said anti-cyanobacteria recombinant polypeptide, with steps as follows: transducting the gene encoding the anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide into an E. coli expression system, cultivating the transducted E. coli, and separating the polypeptide expressed by E. coli.

Also provided is the use of said anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide on the control of water eutrophication.

The invention provides an anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide, which is constructed from colicin polypeptide and an antibody mimic polypeptide against cyanobacteria cell surface antigen. In said polypeptide molecule, the antibody mimetics against cyanobacteria cell surface antigen recognizes and binds to cyanobacteria, leading colicin of the molecule to attack the recognized cyanobacteria cell. With an antibody mimetic recognizing cyanobacteria cell surface antigen specifically, the polypeptide of the invention attacks cyanobacteria cells with no damage to other water organisms and no water pollution, thus being environment-protecting and safe on control of water cyanobacteria pollution. The antibody mimetic in the anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide of the invention is an antibody mimetic capable of recognizing and binding to cyanobacteria, and is designed based on the amino acid sequences and nucleotide sequences of the light and heavy chain of the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of the monoclonal antibody secreted by hybridoma CGMCC No. 4783, such as mimic antibodies well known in the art, e.g., single-chain antibody and small molecular antibody mimetics, etc. In the invention, the designed antibody mimetic just need to be capable of recognizing the antigen, as the only task of the antibody mimetics is to guide the recombinant polypeptide molecule to target cell surface, and build an ion tunnel on the cell membrane by colicin in the recombinant polypeptide, thereby resulting in the target cell death due to intracellular substance leak. Therefore, any recombinant polypeptides constructed by linking a colicin to an antibody mimetic that is designed on the basis of said monoclonal antibody and can recognize the target antigen, will fall into the claimed scope of the invention.

In an embodiment of the invention, the antibody mimetic is a 28-peptide antibody mimetics constructed by linking domains of V_(H)CDR1, V_(H)FR2 and V_(L)CDR3 of a monoclonal antibody against surface antigen of cyanobacteria protoplast (secreted by hybridoma CGMCC No. 4783) in order of V_(H)CDR1-V_(H)FR2-V_(L)CDR3. Indoor and outdoor experiments proved that, the anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide constructed by said antibody mimetics has biological activity of moving around and automatically looking for the cyanobacteria cell surface antigen in water. The 28-peptide antibody mimetics has advantages that it is easily to be cloned, expressed, and has recognizing activity of the original antibody; it can kill cyanobacteria by guiding the colicin of the recombinant polypeptide to target cell membrane to build an ion tunnel. Said recombinant polypeptide has more ecological and environmental safety, compared with current drugs on controlling water pollution (e.g., copper sulfate).

In the invention, the colicin for the construction of the anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide may be selected from colicin E1, Ia, Ib, A, B or N that could form ion channel. The recombinant polypeptide constructed by anti-cyanobacteria antibody mimetics and colicin Ia is verified by examples of the invention. However, with the property of forming an ion channel on the cell membrane of cyanobacteria, any of these colicins according to conception of the invention may be linked linearly to anti-cyanobacteria antibody mimetics for constructing the recombinant polypeptide to carry out the invention, that is, to provide recombinant polypeptides that kill cyanobacteria.

The invention also provides preparation method of the recombinant plasmid comprising the gene of recombinant polypeptide, wherein the nucleotide sequence encoding antibody mimetics is inserted into the C-terminus of colicin by double strand oligonucleotides site-directed mutagenesis, to form the recombinant plasmid of the invention. Taking colicin Ia as an example, the recombinant plasmid of the invention is constructed by inserting the nucleotide sequence encoding antibody mimetics into the site after amino acid 626 of colicin Ia gene (the C-terminus). The original vector pSELECT-1 is purchased from Promega Corp., which contains genes of colicin Ia and Immunity protein. In Example 1 of the present invention, several pairs of primer sequences are designed for genes of antibody mimetics. The recombinant plasmid, e.g. pCHCcyanoMA1, is prepared according to the instruction of the kit from Strategene Corp. by double strand oligonucleotides site directed mutagenesis.

In another aspect of the invention, provided is a preparation method of said anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide of the invention, wherein a recombinant plasmid comprising a gene encoding anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide is obtained by operably linking a gene encoding antibody mimetics with a colicin gene, and the obtained recombinant plasmid is transfected into an E. coli engineering bacteria to obtain a engineering bacteria cell that may produce anti-cyanobacteria recombinant antibody polypeptide. Said anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide of the invention is then obtained from separation and purification with ion-exchange column.

Said anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide of the invention may be used in the control of water pollution. Drug combinations suitable for environment may be prepared by adding vectors, excipients, or other alternative components into the polypeptide of the invention, wherein the mechanism is as follows: antibody mimetics within the polypeptide that recognize cyanobacteria cell surface antigen guide colicin to the cyanobacteria cell membrane with the hydrophobic fragment of ion channel domain in colicin inserted into, to form an ion channel, thereby cyanobacteria cell death is incurred by intracellular substance leak.

Said anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide of the invention has an advantage of target specificity compared with traditional anti-cyanobacterial drugs, thus it does not attack other algae, plants and animal cells; toxicity and untoward effect far less than traditional anti-cyanobacterial drugs. Furthermore, since the ion channel is directly formed on cyanobacteria cell membrane to kill cyanobacteria cells, it is difficult for cyanobacteria cells to repair the geometrical damages on cell membrane by way of gene mutation and protein expression, in the short time of intracellular substance leak through anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide ion channel to cyanobacteria cell death. Therefore, it is with low probability that cyanobacteria cells obtains drug resistance of the anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide of the invention, which indicates there is a promising application prospect to said anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide of the invention.

Example 3 Experiment Results of Inhibition of Anti-Cyanobacteria Polypeptide on Microcystis aeruginosa

Experiment (1)

Step 1. Preparation of algae for experiment: Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-978 is purchased from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Cultivation method of the algae: algae seed was inoculated with an initial cell density of 5×10⁴/mL into a 500 ml conical flask containing 250 ml of BG11 medium and placed into an illumination incubator, wherein the conical flask was covered with breathable film to prevent pollutions. Algae were cultivated at 25° C. with illumination intensity of (2500±10%) lux and light/dark ratio of 12 h/12 h. Conical flasks were shaked and position-exchanged once every 2-3 hours. Samples were taken and tested once every 24 hours since the 5th day after the inoculation. The next step could be performed till the cell density reached about 10⁶/mL.

Step 2. 1 ml of prepared cyanobacteria liquid is added respectively into 5 tubes, namely, A, B, C, D, and E, and then inhibitors were added as follows: A, blank control; B, 50 μg/ml of ampicillin; C, 50 μg/ml of broad spectrum pheromone (Ph-AM1 disclosed in Patent Application No. CN200910092128.4); D, 50 μg/ml of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1); E, 50 μg/ml of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide(2). After shaking cultivation at low speed for 12 hours in a incubator, the 5 tubes were respectively added with acridine orange (50 nM) and propidium iodide (600 nM) for incubating for 30 min; several microliters were sampled onto a slide to observe the alive stained cyanobacteria by a fluorescence microscope (Nikon 90i with filter of DM505 and DM565).

Results are shown in FIG. 4. It's manifested by results that only anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) killed the cultivated Microcystis aeruginosa, whereas none of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (2), ampicillin and Ph-NM showed effects on the cultivated Microcystis aeruginosa.

Experiment (2)

Step 1. It was same as in Step 1 in Experiment (1).

Step 2. Anti-cyanobacteria polypeptides were added by concentration gradient into 6 of 500 ml conical flasks filled with algae. The anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide was added to Microcystis aeruginosa in doses of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 μg/ml. The inhibition on cyanobacteria was observed every day.

Results were shown in FIG. 5. Because the concentration of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) was different in each group, the time of colour changing from green to light yellow of Microcystis aeruginosa liquid in each conical flask was proportional to the concentration of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1). However, it was observed visually that Microcystis aeruginosa in all treatment could be killed effectively in 72 hours.

The above result showed that anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) is capable of target killing the cultivated Microcystis aeruginosa, whereas anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (2) hardly shows any effect.

Experiment (3)

Material: Scenedesmus obliqnus FACHB-417 is purchased from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and cultivated according to the method in Step 1 of Experiment (1).

Step 2. Anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) was added into 6 of 500 ml conical flasks with algae by concentration gradient 0, 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 μg/ml respectively. The inhibition on Scenedesmus was observed every day.

Results are shown in FIG. 6. Although the dose of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) was 10 times higher than that added in Microcystis aeruginosa, no killing effect of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) on Scenedesmus was observed visually during the experiment (190 hours).

Experiment (4)

0.1 mL of culture liquid is taken from each flask of the Experiment (1)-(3) and placed in a blood counting chamber for observing and counting under a microscope. It's shown by the algae cell number in FIG. 7 that, compared to the control, 1 μg/ml of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) can kill Microcystis aeruginosa in 72 hours, whereas 1 μg/ml of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) hardly showed any effect against Scenedesmus.

Example 4 Experiment of Anti-Cyanobacteria Polypeptide Against Microcystis aeruginosa, Anabaena, Chlorella and Scenedesmus in Liquid Culture Medium

Microcystis aeruginosa, Anabaena, Chlorella and Scenedesmus are purchased from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, cultivated and treated according to the methods in Step 1, Experiment (1) of Example 3.

40 ml of the algae liquid with cell density of 10⁶/mL was distributed into two 300 ml conical flasks, and added respectively with A: blank control liquid with same amount, B: 35 μg/ml of anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1), and cultivated for 4 days. The growth was observed.

Results were shown in FIG. 8. After 24 hours, the color of algae liquid of Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena turned light and became clear on the fourth Day, whereas the colour and turbidity of Chlorella and Scenedesmus liquid stayed constant. It's illustrated by the results that, anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide 1 inhibited the growth of the Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena, but did not inhibit the growth of Chlorella and Scenedesmus.

The above results proved that anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) is capable of target killing cyanobacteria.

Example 5 Experiment of Killing Cyanobacteria in Natural Water by Anti-Cyanobacteria Polypeptide

Natural water seriously polluted by cyanobacteria was taken from a shrimp breeding pool of Suzhou Yangcheng Lake, 25˜35 L of the water was distributed into plastic breeding basins of 60×40×30 cm, with 10 min of air supply by bumping in every 20 min, temperature automatically adjusted to 27° C., illumination intensity of (2500±10%) lux and light/dark ratio of 12 h/12 h. Water was sampled every day to detect the pH, absorbance at 650 nm, and Chlorophyll a absorbance (See FIG. 9).

The absorbance at 650 nm was detected by placing the sample liquid into a visible spectrophotometer (See FIG. 10).

Chlorophyll a content was detected by using hot ethanol-freeze thawing-spectrophotometry method (See FIG. 10). The absorbances at 650 and 700 nm were detected by a spectrophotometer to calculate concentration of Chlorophyll a, with a formula of: [Chla]=[12.12(D664−D750)−1.58(D647−D750)−0.08(D630−D750)]VE/VS·d.

PH, absorbance at 650 nm, and Chlorophyll a absorbance in water of the control group remained high during the experiment, whereas those of the anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) group and copper sulfate group decreased dramatically since the second day.

30 ml of water was sampled every day, fixed with formalin, and then concentrated for 10 times by centrifugation. 0.1 mL was taken into a blood counting chamber to be observed and counted under a microscope (See FIG. 11). It's displayed by microscopic examination that, on the first day, plenty of blossoming Anabaena could be seen in control group, anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) group and copper sulfate group; whereas since the second day, Anabaena in anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) group and copper sulfate group decreased and fragmented greatly in water; and no Anabaena could be seen in anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) group and copper sulfate group on the fifth day, but plenty of Anabaena in control group were still alive.

Changes of algae shape was observed under a microscope, and various algae were counted to detect the dynamic changes about dominant population of floating plants in water (See FIG. 10). In control group, Anabaena and Microcystis aeruginosa were dominant algae all the time; in anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) group, Anabaena and Microcystis aeruginosa decreased gradually while Chlorella became dominant; in copper sulfate group, Anabaena and Microcystis aeruginosa decreased gradually, and another Cyanobacteria, the Oscillatoria, became dominant.

Results are shown in FIGS. 9-11 and Table 1. It's manifested by results that 0.7 ppm copper sulfate killed all kinds of algae without selection. However, anti-cyanobacteria polypeptide (1) has targeting inhibition on the growth of cyanobacteria (Anabaena, Microcystis aeruginosa) in water, but has little influence on the growth of other phytoplankton.
